Collecting Continues -- Outstanding Guns From History

I have always been fascinated with guns, especially hand guns. While in the army, I was lucky enough to b e sent to armorer's school and got to fire everything from the M1911 automatic pistol through the 30 calibre machine gun and all the way up to and including a 105 mm jeep mounted recoiless rifle.

Pictured are two fairly accurate "replicas" I found through the internet, one of a highly engraved single action army Colt .45 described as "The Deadwood" and the other a rendering of a flintlock pistol given to General George Washington by the French during the Revolutionary War.
I can't imagne how much the flintlock would be worth if it was real!

For a long time, I had a Colt similar to the one pictured, minus all the engraving. Unfortunately, during a really down economic period, I sold it.

I think that's why I bought this replica. I really miss that pistol! I could almost cry thinking about letting it go! Keep telling myself it is just "a thing". But it was a really cool thing!
